--its weird, i feel like i have been influenced by stuff that i dont want my work to be

--haha well it's all the abstraction thing I guess....not designed, just chaotically cool

--I look at my floor tiles....MORE design inspiration in those patterns than on art station :)

--Fuck looking at other people's work if you really want to develop your own thing. READ instead, and immerse yourself in all sorts of visual languages

--which is why some people get away from social media and artstation etc so their imagination can grow independently into sth more unique

--i guess the only way to control that is to only expose yourself to images you want to be influenced by

--Been wanting to do my own version of Dune for ages...like everyone else and their dog haha

--Man that's probably the best sci fi book ever.....apart from U.K. Le Guin's stuff
